Plastic edges can cut you to the bone pretty easily. Clamshell package victims attest to this year after year.
Can't I just go choke on a plastic bottle somewhere and swing the legal preference back the other way, if that's truly the issue?
I agree with you on the weight aspect though. It'd be difficult to get goods producers to reduce their profits altruistically.
- chrisco255 7y agoImagine glass clamshell packaging, if you think plastic cuts are bad. It's also not about reducing profits or not. Consumer goods operate on very thin margins. Anything you do to increase packaging and distribution costs will be passed on in the price of the goods.
